Pargulus Pygmies can often be found tending to plants and foraging for food. They like to care for other living things, be it plant or animal, and will often leave the food from their foraging trips outside the dens of those who need it or even just those they think could use a treat. These colorful little dragons are especially attentive to anyone who might be struggling to find food themselves, such as the elderly, the sick, or the very young. Pargulus pygmies have a surprisingly large range considering their small size. They have been known to travel far and wide to find food to bring back to their friends.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Saralyn was adopted and raised by a band of people with hips, people who are like hips, or people who ARE hips. "Hip" somethings. That's what they call themselves, and Saralyn's never learned what that means. One of the concepts learned from humans is spoken language, though it'll be a very long time before she feels she has a full understanding. When Saralyn was a child, her parents told her that while she's tiny, it doesn't mean she cannot do great things when she grows up. She has taken the statement to heart, and now, old enough to make major decisions for herself, she spends a lot of time hiding in the sewers and in vents doing grate things, mostly repair but sometimes installation. She really likes her job. There are some sections of the town's sewer system where she's figured out how to cultivate different plant species, and she enjoys caring for those in her free time.
